Pieces Back Together

Verse 1

I used to count the cracks in the ceiling at 3 a.m.

Replaying every word you said, every place we’d been

The silence screamed louder than your goodbye ever could

I swore I’d never feel this full again, never feel this good

But time kept moving even when I begged it to stand still

And slowly, slowly, the ache became something I could feel

Pre-Chorus

I didn’t see it coming, the way the hurt began to bend

How broken things can teach you how to start again

Chorus

I’m picking up the pieces, one by one, they fit

Not the way they used to, but they’re mine, and that’s it

I’m learning how to breathe without your name on every breath

Finding strength in all the nights I thought would be my death

Heartbreak tried to bury me, but look at what it grew

I’m rising from the ashes, stronger now, because of you

Yeah, I’m finally healing

I’m finally healing

Verse 2

I stopped checking if you’d read my message at midnight

Stopped writing unsent letters I’d never send right

The mirror shows a stranger with brighter eyes than before

Someone who survived the storm and still wants more

I dance alone in my kitchen, no one’s watching now

And damn, it feels like freedom wearing my own crown

Pre-Chorus

You were the ending of a chapter, not the end of the book

I’m writing something beautiful on every page I took

Chorus

I’m picking up the pieces, one by one, they fit

Not the way they used to, but they’re mine, and that’s it

I’m learning how to love the quiet, love the empty space

Love the girl who made it through the hardest days

Heartbreak tried to break me, but it only made me new

I’m standing in the sunlight, finally seeing the truth

Yeah, I’m finally healing

I’m finally healing

Bridge

There were days I thought the pain would own me forever

Nights I begged the stars to make it hurt less, never

But every tear carved rivers that led me back to me

Every scar’s a story of how deep I can be

I don’t hate you anymore

I just thank you for the war

Because it taught me I could win

Final Chorus (bigger, hopeful)

I’m picking up the pieces, and they shine in my hands

A mosaic of survival, the strongest kind of plans

I’m not afraid of loving, not afraid to feel again

I know now what I’m worth, I know how strong I’ve been

Heartbreak was the teacher, but I’m the one who learned

I’m blooming in the fire, watch me rise, watch me burn

I’m finally healing

Yeah, I’m finally free

Outro

I’m not broken anymore

I’m beautifully remade

And this heart?

It beats louder than it ever did before
